I always liked the T-tail. Never realized how big it is.

Hi Gents,
I've finally worked up the mojo to take a few photos - so I thought I'd better update some of these old threads of mine - although I've not felt like doing the internet thing much over the past few months, I have still been building and have finished 6 kits since Easter.
This beast is finished - brush painted with Hataka and clear coated with Mr Super Clear sprays. It's not a bit kit this, old and not very accurate in places, but a fun build and looks okay when done.
Cheers!

Another home run!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Oh that’s a beautiful big beast of a delta winged fighter! Very nice work!
And you’ve finished six since Easter?! You’re coming after Mark’s role as the most productive builder… I’ve barely finished my third since New Years…

lol! I've got a loooong way to go before I beat Mark!
Thanks Carlos - It is a bit of a beast - bigger than the Tornado.

Thanks Mark. If you can find one it's worth getting. It's a fun little build.Duke Maddog wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 3:21 pm Stuart I finally found this and got caught up! That is one magnificent beast, and one I have yet to build myself! Keep them coming man, I am looking forward to your next work!
